When I Close My Eyes
04:16
|
|||
I saw you laugh and cry all just today
Well aren't they one in the same
People tell me that you're already gone
Well I'm convinced you're coming home
Cause when I close my eyes I look right into yours
And when I close my eyes the world, it's becoming yours
Everyone tells me that this is all a waste of time
Well they're right, but I love to be wrong
Your appointed point of view tell me to go
Now I know you're never coming home
Cause when I close my eyes I look right into yours
And when I close my eyes the world, it's becoming yours
As the lights grow brighter while the sun goes down
You wander around looking for a shot at love
And as you wander searching for a man
To fit in your hand, I hope he's different
Cause when I close my eyes I look right into yours
And when I close my eyes the world's already yours

Routine
02:56

Make, won't you make, the mistakes you make again?
Take me away to where this all began.
Break, won't you break, the routine you've been living in?
Cause I'm so tired and you're so boring.
Fake, won't you fake, the way you've been looking at him?
Shake, won't you shake, away those feelings you've been keeping in?
Break, won't you break, the routine you've been living in?
Cause I'm so tired and you're so boring.

Radio Plays
03:47
|

The lights turned green
Long ago
I saw them change
But I couldn't move myself to go
Cause the radio plays
My favorite songs
Over and over
Over and over and over again
And I listen
I listen
I listen
If I can't, I know you will
His skin starts to glow
In the room
Where you made
Where you made your first mistake
So bury you nose
And hide your face
From the one who
From the one who told you those lies
And bury him
And bury him
Right in the ground
Till you can't remember his name
And bury him
And bury him
Right in the ground
Till you can't remember his name

I'm Only Asking
02:08
|

See the pictures up on the wall
They're always staring, stirring up what they don't know
Keep talking gossip about the way things always are
Tea and crumpets on a Monday morning
You can't afford it, keep telling yourself "no"
Your arms are flailing in the northern wind
I'm only asking those question I'll never win
I'm only asking and you tell me "never, never again"
Walk through the forest and run up a stream
If it's so easy, why can't you see what I mean
Oh darling it's only one more meal
I'm only asking those questions you're never thinking of
I'm only asking why can't you ever get enough?
See the pictures up on the wall
They're always staring, stirring up what they don't know
Keep talking gossip about the way things always are
What they don't know is how in love we really are
What they don't know is how in love we really are

Your Breath Is On Fire
02:24
|
|||
You won't go out, but you'll open your mouth
Spreading doubt all over town
Just shut your lips, and open your ears
We'd be your friend, but you're breath is on fire
I know it's hard, making a change
I've been there once or six times before
Just speed it up, we're waiting on you
We'd be your friend, but your breath is on fire

76
03:54
|

It's the last call for the 76
A bus ride I'll always miss
The bite of the air I'll never forget
On those long walks home you were always filled with so much regret
I've spent a lifetime building these ties
For some fast-friends I've watched live and die
But you've got the look to keep you here
From denim to lace I saw you change without fear
You keep bringing me back to the worst part of town
We'll roll around till we fall to the ground
You're afraid, scared, of missing out
I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out
Your're afraid, scared of missing out
Please pickup where you left off
The pills in the bathroom were where you got lost
And I know you've got a story to tell
Of all the places you went in that frozen hell
Your nail map out the roads you went down
As those tour guides watched you as you drown
In the deepest lake they've ever seen
In the darkest corner of your mid-day's dream
You keep bringing me back to the worst part of town
We'll roll around till we fall to the ground
You're afraid, scared, of missing out
I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out
Your're afraid, scared of missing out
I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out
And you bring me to this town again
We'll roll around till we fall to the ground
You're afraid, scared, of missing out
I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out
Your're afraid, scared of missing out
I'll leave you alone by yourself to figure it out

Formless Grey
03:07
|
|||
The smell of your body fill the room
I try to escape it, it looms
It's coming back
A ghost at night, shackles clanging
Wakes me up, recalling every word I sang
It's such a pain
Where have I gone?
And what have I done?
A constant reminder of the formless grey.
Oil and water bead on the skin
Lifting off its counterpart afraid
It's such a shame
Recalling words I once said to you
You know they were never true
And we're pulling through
Where have I gone?
And what have I done?
A constant reminder of the formless grey.
Caramel colored sweat beads
Lightning pours over all your electric, eccentric party lovers
They're twitching, and glitching, foaming over
Cause they pent up their emotions, picked up all the trimmings
Razors slice into every last one of their tongues
Where have I gone?
And what have I done?
A constant reminder of the formless grey.

Brave
03:20
|
|||
You follow your love back to her place every night
But you end up in a different town
You're confused and you stumble over the right words
Is she the one you went home to two days ago?
You'll never know
Cause you're hiding your face from the one that you love
You're pleading innocence from all the gods up, up above
You're so brave
Now go home and get some sleep
You'll need the rest before the storm comes again
And I'll go home, I'll get some sleep
But mind speaks up, it speaks, speaks, speaks
"You're the one I've been running from"
Cause I'm hiding my face from the ones that I love
I've been pleading innocence from the gods up up above
I'm so brave

Not Alone
03:40
|
|||
You tell yourself that you're doing right
End up in the same crowd every night
They're just like you and they're just like me
Hanging around where they're supposed to be
So we're not alone, no we're not alone
We'll never be alone, unknown
I'll tell you now, "you're doing right"
So long as you end up by my side tonight
Cause I'm just like you and you're just like me
We're hanging around where we're supposed to be
So we're not alone, no we're not alone
We'll never be alone, unknown

Pretty Jane

Pretty pretty pretty pretty Jane
She was pretty pretty pretty pretty plain
White shoes and a velvet tie
She was always one of, one of the guys
Pretty pretty pretty pretty Jane
Pretty pretty pretty pretty lame

Get By
07:14

Let me suffer
Let me be your pretty thing
I'm learning what to bring, no, nothing at all
Rip me open, burn everything
I'm learning what to bring no, no, no, nothing at all
And now I know
Just how far I'll go
To get by
Let me get by
Let me suffer
Let me be your pretty thing
I'm learning what to bring, no, nothing at all
Rip me open, burn everything
I'm learning what to bring no, no, no, nothing at all
And now I know
Just how far I'll go
To get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
Let me get by
